DOWNLOAD 2017 CATELLA PROPERTY'S ANNUAL STUDY

Take-up levels in the greater Paris region have been particularly high in H1 2018, reaching 1.33 million sqm, which hasn't occurred since 2008.

After a robust Q2,Q3 2018 recorded a 17% y-o-y decrease, with a take-up of only 503,600 sqm.
This slowdown has not however inverted the trend for 2018, during which take-up has increased by 6% with 1,874 million sqm.

This Q3 slowdown is due to the -37% decrease in large transactions y-o-y. Note the absence of transactions > 20,000 sqm and the 39% decrease in transactions for 5,000-10,000 sqm during this quarter. Yet take-up has nevertheless increased by 24% during the first nine months of the year.

The appeal of the Paris Other and CBD sectors have made it possible for Paris to record a positive result for the first 9 months of the year, with a growth of 5%.

Take-up in the Western business district (excluding La Défense) declined by a significant -35% during the first 9 months of the year. However, La Défense made up for its delay with an 18% increase after a 5% decrease in H1.

The Southern Rim suffered the most, with a -40% decrease in take-up in the first 9 months of the year.

The vacancy rate in the Paris region has decreased by 0.2%: 5.1% in Ile-de-France with a vacancy rate of 2.2%, and even 1.8% in the CBD, scarcity in Paris is intensifying.

This is having a direct impact on rents which continue to rise.
